STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - A Brooklyn woman who runs a child care center on Staten Island led police on an alcohol-fueled chase through South Beach over the weekend, police allege.

Police say Latoya Pouncey, 33, was going 74 mph in a 2012 Ford SUV on the Island-bound side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, then refused to heed officers' orders to pull over. The posted speed limit is 45 mph, according to police.

She got as far as McClean Avenue near Piave Avenue before parking her car and trying to run off, police allege. She also struggled when police tried to cuff her.

Ms. Pouncey had a blood alcohol level of .078 percent -- just below the .08 percent legal threshold for driving while intoxicated but high enough for a charge of driving while ability-impaired -- according to court papers.
